Topic: Replace peppermint7 with peppermint9 (Read 1592 times)

I am in the process of replacing Peppermint 7 with 9. Using 128GB USB stick. I think I have 9 on the stick but cannot proceed further. Have used Direct download then "Disc Image Writer (Default)" which just gets me back to Direct Download again. I n other words we go round in a circle. What am I doing wrong?

Incidentally, I thought that there would be the option of removing 7 at the same time as installing 9 but so far there has been no indication of that.

d) In the "USB Image Writer" window that just opened, select your USB stick and click the "Write" button.

Once that finishes, reboot the PC from the USB stick.

When you decide to install Peppermint 9 (preferably from the Live session desktop icon), one of the options should be to "Replace Peppermint - Wipe the drive and install Peppermint"(be aware this will do EXACTLY as it says and wipe the drive, so make sure you've copied off any files you need to keep FIRST)

I have booted and end up with a window full of icons including "install". Clicked on that and am offered "mt86plus" and "TRANS.TBL" . The first one of these is an unknown file type and the second "[Read-Only] (Peppermint Nine /medea/robe"

Laptop is ASUS ZenBook UX301.Selecting "Disks" from the Menu shows 4.0 GB Thumb Drive and Volumes : Peppermint Nine Partition 1 1.4 GB ISO 9660 . Partition2 Peppermin... 2.4MB FAT.From this I assume that Peppermint9 resides on the USB stick. Opening the Home window and moving down to Devices then Peppermin... Click on that and up comes a window headed Peppermint 9 containing a number of icons including Boot, Install to name but a few. Click on Boot and up comes grub and TRANS.TBL. neither of which means aything to me.
